B.S./M.S. Dual Degree in Applied Mathematics Program
For the four-and-half-year program, it is assumed that the
student has completed 17 semester hours of AP credit. In
order to be specific, for the provided sample program on
page 34 it is also assumed that these AP credits correspond
to MATH 151, MATH 152, PHYS 123, and a three-credithour
science elective course.
For the five-year program, it is assumed that the student
has completed eight semester hours of AP credit. In order
to be specific, for the provided sample program on page
35 it is also assumed that these AP credits correspond to
MATH 151 and a three-credit hour science elective course.
Students may finish earlier by taking courses in summer
terms. For the five-year program, a summer term
is included in the sample curriculum. Students may also
participate in the research projects being carried out in the
department, possibly MATH 491 (undergraduate independent
study), and continuing with MATH 591 (M.S. thesis).
There are a few dual-delivery courses in the Applied
Mathematics department, such as MATH 477/577, MATH
478/578, etc. Students in the program are not allowed to
take these dual-delivery courses at both the 400-level and
500-level.
For the graduate degree, students must take at least two sequences
out of four core areas, which are Applied Analysis
(MATH 500/501), Discrete Applied Mathematics (MATH
553/554), Computational Mathematics (MATH 577/578),
and Stochastics (MATH 540 and (543 or 544 or 545)).
